** Update.. Issue is solved! The installation procedure mentioned below failed to include the step needed to install "VDPAUlib." This doesn't get picked up in either the Update Manager or the Hardware Updates section of the process, and has to be manually added. Added through Synaptic, reboot and now video playback is flawless. **
Hi Community,
Hoping that someone can help me with some trouble I am having with my new Mag Mini.
Video playback is poor. 72op MKV files jitter consistently. 1080 is impossible.
During playback, CPU spikes to 170-190%. Rendering is set to VDPAU, however when I looked in the log, it shows:
(For reference, the full log is here.
I'm running 32.bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have NVIDIA driver version 195.36.15 activated.
I followed the installation procedure outlined in Spocky184's helpful post found here.
I am new to both XBMC and to Linux, and though I've spent the day reading and researching, I don't know what to do next. I'm disappointed that I can't get this working, but hopeful that someone here can help.
Another (minor) request for help. Before buying the Zotac, I had tested XBMC on my desktop and was delighted by the program. It's great! However, on the Mag there seems to be quite a bit more delay in the GUI displaying background art and even navigating some of the menus. Is this normal for this unit?
Thanks in advance!
